This week: it turns out that after G-d gives us a bunch of laws they then decide to explain at length how to build the Tabernacle and various ritual implements around and within it. Lotta talk about the sage's interest in the practicalities of building the Ark and the Tabernacle, the placement and significance of this section in the Torah as well as it's historical weight given when it was written, and the relationship of G-d with space and the people.
Next week, we get the rules of the priesthood and sacrifices.
Anyways,

thanks to Ibn Ezra i'm a cube ten commandments truther now
anyways it's really interesting to see this discussion of him going "knowing what we know of the Ark, and that it needs to be something four dudes could possibly carry, how the hell would you make it?"
Ibn Ezra: Look,,,,
Ibn Ezra: [maybe does a pantheism]
G-d: to build the Tabernacle, first do all these things
G-d: next, build the rest of the Tabernacle
